On a cutting board surface, use a paring knife to cut off tops of the apple. Next, using the paring knife, outline where you’d like the “rim” of your apple cup to be, about 1/4″ wide.

Fill with your favorite apple cider, garnish with a cinnamon stick and any other of your favorite spices, and serve.
